120 personnel each from the Indian and French Armies performed the 'Surya Namaskar' yoga posture and 'pranayama' breathing exercises, kicking off the first day of the Indo-France army exercise 'FRINJEX-23'. Being held at the Indian Army's Pangode military station in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, the two-day exercise is focused on Humanitarian Assitance and Disaster Relief (HADR). The rationale behind the emphasis on HADR operations is the increasing threat of climate change and natural calamities and the need for strong nations and their armed forces to be prepared to offer succour to the affected population. While Indian and French forces undertake joint operations to validate their combat operations and tactics, an exercise dedicated solely to HADR operations is a first of its kind. Speaking at the inaugural event, Major Atul Khoker, commander, Indian Army contingent expressed confidence that the exercise is an opportunity that will enrich both participating forces with knowledge and camaraderie. He said that it is an ideal platform to share operational expertise, experience, and skills while fostering interoperability and cooperation. #indianarmy & #FrenchArmy personnel literally kick-start joint exercise #FRINJEX with a session of #yoga & mobility exercises at the #pangode military station #Thiruvananthapuram #kerala #india 120 @armeedeterre troops & 120 @adgpi troops to be part of 2-day HADR-centric ex pic.twitter.com/sRrNjBqhPM — Sidharth.M.P (@sdhrthmp) March 7, 2023 × Major Kalfon, commander, Embedded Tactical Group, French Army, said that it was a rare opportunity for the visiting contingent to meet people from across cultures and languages, each one with a different history and tradition.
